Snowfall looked ahead of him. More unknown fortress and that meant more danger! The Kitsune glanced behind him. Evil-minded Mechanoids chasing him and Terra's party already had their hands full with the ambush! Oh, what was a foxy messenger to do?!

Well, the first thing was first! His mind and his spirit were as one. There was just no way he was going to let Miss Terra and her family down! Since he had never heard of a surrendering Mechanoid, these crackpot wanna-be Star Wars droids had to go - all of 'em! But how? Snowfall thought hard. He wouldn't describe himself as a great warrior and he sure wasn't a big, beastly dragon or a canine in a Glitter Boy get-up. He had one thing he could rely on during most occasions - the combination of his experience, wits, and know-how. How best to throw things in Terra's party's favor?

Then it came to him.

"Hey! Draco Amicus clan! You guys!" he called out over his Atlantean Communications Crystal in their language. "Didn't you all come here to chase down the Mechanoid's big boss? Well, that fiendish and ugly Overlord you're looking for - he's right here!! I could swear he said something about how Atlanteans deserved to lose their precious little island and how they had everything the Splugorth gave 'em was coming to 'em! Okay, I made that up, but it's all about the motivation, right? Come and get him!" Snowfall gave a detailed description and hoped the brave Atlanteans he had fought alongside were able to hear him.

In the meantime though, those flaky railguns the Runners were using had to be answered. Snowfall let go with a Lighting Blast from his beloved Dragon Rod at the Runner who looked like he most needed a bolt in the face. Snowfall wanted to lead these Runners all over until he either found a place where he could ditch them or otherwise occupy them from the real fight with the Overlord!

What an adventure finding Miss Terra was turning out to be!

As Snowfall fires, he can instinctively tell that this shot is right on the money. Sure enough, the bolt hits Runner 1 and rips into its already damaged armor, killing the organic form locked inside, and the mecha drops to the deck in flames.

Snowfall also manages to get a reply from the other Atlanteans that were traveling with you in the form of a pair of ectoplasmic demons running up, with three of the noble warriors in hot on their heels. The pair of false demons begin to grapple Runner 2, their claws tearing into it as the Atlantean warriors take a knee as one and spray weapon fire from their energy rifles into its weakened armor, causing it to explode in flames.

Terra lets out an excited shout as she sees the Atlanteans join in, not that anyone can hear it due to the echoing sound of Daisy's Boom Gun. With all of the fighters hitting the Mechanoids out here, she is confident that the battle will not last long. Directing Baby to hit Thin Man 2, Junior to hit Thin Man 4, she has Tiny take a look around the corner to try and spot the Overlord. If so, she'll fire off a blast of lightning at it.

One swing and a miss, the other wipes out the damaged Thin Man. But when Tiny pokes its head around the corner of the chamber, you are immediately shot at by a six pack of mini missiles from the Exterminator that was just waiting for such an opportunity! The missiles will hit, and you cannot dodge them. You can, however, try to abort your declared action of attacking the Overlord and try to shoot them down with Tiny's lightning bolt, use your own personal action to attack them, or just stand there like a goof and get hit. Or do something completely different that comes to mind.

Thin Man 2 and 6 try a melee attack against Junior, and will hit unless you have it dodge or parry.

Runner 4 continues to try and hit Snowfall with its rail gun. This time, it scores a critical hit on you, so only another natural 20 will be able to dodge. Unless you wish to try a different kind of defense maneuver, of course.

The missiles fly out, and they are right in your face before you have the chance to shoot them down. Lucky for Terra, you had a saved action to spare, and you manage to hit one of the missiles and destroy it. The resulting explosion takes out two more of the incoming volley, but the last three still hit Tiny for a total of 90 MDC damage.

The good news here is that your lightning bolt attack on the Overlord hits, but the armor is rather heavy, so you do little in the way of damage.

Seeing that the jig was up, Zephiron turns about to charge the Overlord. He glides across the cavernous complex and brings his halberd down upon the Mechanoid's mastermind.

70 MD
 
As Zephiron swings his halberd, the massive Overlord activates a Telekinetic Force Field, and swings it up to block the hit. The shield is damaged, but still active.

And just like that, the gauntlet is thrown down. The ambush turns into the actual fight in the same time it takes her to curse her luck; bloody dud, the one time she actually shoots. Missiles fly, the dragon charges, a fancy shield blocks the mighty blow. In the midst of the chaos, the green-haired wizard runs forward. Doesn't take energy cells for the gun to fire something. Words leave her lips, not understandable in the turmoil around her. Fricking boom guns are loud. The magic comes anyway, as always. Doesn't care about noise, or mechs, or explosions. Quite the burst of energy, roaring through the gun's barrel. Half of what's in that new crystal of hers; good thing she brought that one. Forms brown, muddy strands of power, reaching out for the Overlord and whatever else is close and hostile. Should slow them, a little, lower the threat. At the very least, it looks cool, she figures. Draws some attention, buys the others some time. Best case, the Overlord goes mad, in slow-motion so that it tastes even sweeter.

Casting Speed of the Snail - 1d6 targets, standard save +1 (spell strength), first target is the Overlord, potential other targets going by size and their positiion - slow the huge stuff if possible. If successful: Speed, Dodge, Parry and number of attacks down to one third. Duration is 12 melees - please don't get there, folks. Down to 50 ppe in the battery, 43 on herself.
 
Shaona's spell goes off, hitting the Overlord and two of the nearby Brains. You are confident that the two Brains have been affected, but the Overlord looks like it was able to shrug off the effects of the spell.

Dannigan Dannigan is up, and you still have to let me know how you would like to try and defend against the one shot that is going to hit, or if you will just take the damage.

Sometimes life contained pain and there wasn't much a person could do about it. Snowfall didn't think he could dodge the incoming blast from the runner, but that's why he had magical shields. Still, he tried to swerve out of the way and back towards the main fight.

Once there, another idea caught his ever-moving mind. "You know?" he called aloud to the Mechanoids, "I know we're your guests and all, but we're so happy to have you here on Earth that we're rolling out the red carpet! Enjoy!"

And with that, using his beloved Tatsu Blaster, he cast Carpet of Adhesion on the Overlord and everyone near him. And yes, the carpet was indeed red. =)

Just a bit of full disclosure. Snowfall can see that the Overlord is flying on a jet of flame, so is not in contact with the ground for the Carpet of Adhesion to be able to affect it. Do you still wish to cast that spell?
 
Quick bump for Dannigan Dannigan . Do you wish to go through with the Carpet of Adhesion, even with the Overlord in the air?
 
Snowfall takes the hit from the rail gun blast for a total of 60 MD. In return, though, your Magic Net hits the Overlord, binding up its arms and tangling it up in the cables that are protruding out from it.

The Exterminator is still focused on Tiny, since the Automation is one of the two big targets in the room at the moment. It launches another volley of six mini missiles at you. They will hit unless you shoot them down.

Terra grits her teeth as she sees the Exterminator launching more missiles at her. This thing has started to piss me off! I need to take it out before it blasts Tiny to bits! But first, she has the six missiles to deal with. With a thought, she has the Automation fire its eye beams at the incoming missiles, hoping to wipe them out before they hit.

The eye beams lance out and hit one of the six missiles, destroying it in a bright flash. The last time you did this, Tiny got tagged by three of the missiles. This time, the blast manages to catch of the remining five and causes them all to explode, sparing you the damage that Tiny would have taken.

Such a ballsy dragon. Daisy couldnt let the child go against such a thing alone. Nit when the serpent barely had any idea that it could possibly be in any danger.

Daisy moved her sights from the thin man, and cast it to the overlord.

And she sent him the lovely gift of a red hot spiked slug.

There is good news and bad news. The bad news is that you miss the Overlord, but the good news is that you didn't hit Zephiron. You do manage to put a hole into the wall next to the Overlord.

But Zeph is not out of trouble yet. The first two Brains (the ones that have been hit by the slow spell) both have rail guns in hand, and they fire on the dragon. They will hit unless you dodge.

Brains 3 and 4 both target Shaona with their own rail guns, and they also will hit unless you do something about it.
